Your message is gratuitously offensive and based on a misreading.
I did _not_ remove the difference between a station and a halt.
I stated that the particular rationale used to differentiate between a
station and a halt in German-speaking countries, in which the presence
of points is the determining factor, was not necessarily the rationale
used in other countries.
I would appreciate an apology for the accusation of vandalism and for
the sarcastic comment about not mapping reality.
